Water Reservoir Tank Repairs
Following damage to the Frogley tank roof caused by a fallen tree, our team provided a temporary repair solution, enabling the client to bring the tank back online without a full roof replacement. A timber framework was designed to secure the damaged roof, and a patch repair was completed as a temporary solution. Additionally, a scaffold system was installed around half to three-quarters of the tank, including a staircase for safe access to the work area.
Project Highlights

-
Designed a timber framework to secure the damaged roof.
-
Safely remove debris and remaining roof sections.
-
Provide a temporary solution that would ensure water quality was maintained until a full restoration could be completed.
-
Installation of a scaffold system, approximately half to threequarters of the tank, including a staircase for safe access to the work area.
Services Provided
-
Assessment of the condition of the deteriorated carpark and surrounding areas.
-
Collaboration with our client to develop a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the rectification works, providing expert advice and recommendations on the best approach to address the issues within budget and time constraints.
-
Implementation of safety measures by cordoning off the affected areas to prevent public access during the works.
-
Carrying out the necessary resurfacing and repairs to the carpark and other high-traffic areas, ensuring a safe and functional environment for the public until the larger capital project is completed.
Challenges
-
Restricted entry points for transporting materials.
-
Exposed live edges on the damaged roof.
-
Managing the risk of compromised trees and branches that could fall with high winds.
Outcome
The tank was successfully repaired using a temporary timber structure and roof sheeting, allowing the tank to be brought back online, ensuring a continued water supply to the surrounding areas. Although deemed to be a temporary repair we ensured that handrail and safety systems complied with Australian Safety Standards.
